Almost forgot!
Oct 31 is the anniversary of Murriyang starting operations in 1961!
63 years of operation, and it’s still giving us solid science/discoveries.
Iconic Aussie astronomy infrastructure. ANd of course, my fav telescope in the world!
Happy b'day, Dish!

YYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!
Today's @APoD was taken by our team mate, the excellent John Sarkissian! And look, it is off our beautiful dish Murriyang (Parkes radio telescope) grabbing signal and data from IM-1.
Got to spend a weekend in #parkes #nsw #australia visiting #murriyang #thedish #radiotelescope that was integral to the #apollo11 #moonlanding 😀
